27:37: After the festive tone of Rosh Hashanah comes the somber mood of Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. For 25 hours we go without food and drink as we ask G-d to forgive us for our failings and we hope that the Book of Life will be sealed in our favor in the coming year. When I was a child this was kind of a bittersweet holiday, bitter because I could not eat, and sweet because it was the one day of the year when I did not have to practice the violin.
